Bare feet crack golden leaves. Legs caked with mud tremble. Tattered skirt whips in the winds. Frilly blouse torn to bandage gaping wounds.

Dry lips scratch the tongue darting out in a vain attept to hydrate. Golden eyes wide in the darkness. Beads of sweat trickle down a pale temple, coat shoulders and the tops of…

Dark curls fallen. The pins holding them back left behind.

Pounding heartbeat. Ragged breath.

A noise from behind. She whirls.

A scream.

“Cut! Margaret, get to costumes. The sweat has rendered the tape useless. I want to see nipple through the cotton, not above it. Fix it and get back. We have to do it again.”
